How do I correct scores for revised quiz questions in a D2L quiz?

It happens to everyone who uses online quizzes eventually—you find out that wrong answer option was marked as correct for one of the questions on your quiz after students have taken it. Now you’ll need to correct your students’ quiz scores.

Sometimes this has to be done manually, but in some cases, D2L provides a shortcut for making corrections. First, you’ll need to correct the answer to the question. Then, you’ll need to re-grade the quiz question. Here’s how you do it:

Go to the quiz, click the drop-down arrow to the right of its name, then select Grade.

Click the Questions tab at the top of the page.

Check the Update All Attempts radial button.

Click on the question that you just modified. To find it, you’ll need to scroll down to the bottom of the list of questions.

Give to all attempts with answer option

Choose the Give to attempts with answer option on the “Grading Type” list, then set new values for your answer options.

Choose the number of the answer option that was incorrectly marked as wrong on the drop-down menu, then enter 0 in the “points” text box.

Choose the number of the answer that is now correct on the drop-down menu, then enter the point value for that questions in the “points” text box.
